Xbox One 'hasn't been rushed' to market, says Major Nelson
Microsoft said last month that Xbox One's launch had been delayed to 2014 in eight European countries due to Kinect localisation issues rather than supply problems.
Xbox One will now launch in 13 markets this November, although Kinect voice commands will initially only work in five countries, while the console appears unlikely to support external storage upon release.
Responding to suggestions that Microsoft has rushed the console to market, Major Nelson said on Reddit: "The Xbox One program has been in development for years, so calling it 'Rushed' is incorrect.
"Did we have a few challenges between May and August? Sure. But we are working on our own schedule - not any one else's. At Gamescom, every game in the Xbox booth was running on final Xbox One hardware. Every. Single. One. That would paint a very different take on the being 'rushed.'"
Xbox One is targeted for a "late November" release, according to the terms and conditions section of an upcoming promo campaign for which PepsiCo and Microsoft have partnered to give away an Xbox One every two minutes. The Xbox One price has been set at £430 / €500 / $500.

xTMxS3RIOUSu_uTorrer Not rushed? That's why it doesn't support USB storage which the 360 has had for years...

They said no external storage, whether or not that means u can use a flash drive, i think thats where he was going with the comment

I am sure nothing could be as rushed as the Wii U, the console looks like it has a lot more potential. I feel like even if they didn't release it this year they would try to add more features and then they would not be ready and look bad then again.
